You affirm that you are over the age of 13, as the CloudWalk Services are not intended for children under 13.

2. Your Account and Use of the CloudWalk Services

2.1 You must provide accurate and complete registration information any time you register to use the CloudWalk Services. You are responsible for the security of your passwords and for any use of your account. If you become aware of any unauthorized use of your password or of your account, you agree to notify CloudWalk immediately.

2.4 Your account has "hard" and "soft" usage limits, as further explained here (or such URL as CloudWalk may provide). The CloudWalk Services does not permit you to exceed the hard usage limits. CloudWalk reserves the right to enforce soft usage limits in its sole discretion, which may result in CloudWalk serving a "quota exceeded" page to you or users to whom you serve web pages via the CloudWalk Services ("End Users"). Repeated exceeding of the hard or soft usage limits may lead to termination of your account.

2.5 You may use the CloudWalk Services only to develop and run applications on the CloudWalk infrastructure. You may not access the CloudWalk Services for the purpose of bringing an intellectual property infringement claim against CloudWalk or for the purpose of creating a product or service competitive with the CloudWalk Services.

3. Service Policies and Privacy

3.1 You agree to comply with the CloudWalk Acceptable Use Policy available at acceptable use policy (the "Acceptable Use Policy") which is incorporated herein by this reference and which may be updated from time to time.

3.2 The CloudWalk Services shall be subject to the privacy policy for the CloudWalk Services available at privacy policy. You agree to the use of your data in accordance with CloudWalk's privacy policies.

3.3 You agree that you will protect the privacy and legal rights of the End Users of your application. You must provide legally adequate privacy notice and protection for End Users.

4. Fees for Use of the CloudWalk Services

4.1 Subject to the Terms, the CloudWalk Services is provided to you without charge up to certain limits. Usage over this limit requires your purchase of additional resources or services. The pricing for additional resources can be asked at https://www.cloudwalk.io/contact.

4.2 For all purchased resources and services, we will charge your credit card on a monthly basis or at the interval indicated in CloudWalk fees and payment policies, if different. Late payments may bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less). Charges are exclusive of taxes. You are responsible for paying all taxes and government charges, and all reasonable expenses and attorneys fees CloudWalk incurs collecting late amounts. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you waive all claims relating to charges unless claimed within 60 days after the charge (this does not affect your credit card issuer rights). Charges are solely based on CloudWalk's measurements of your use of the CloudWalk Services, unless otherwise agreed to in writing. To the fullest extent permitted by law, refunds (if any) are at the discretion of CloudWalk and only in the form of credit for the CloudWalk Services. Nothing in these Terms obligates CloudWalk to extend credit to any party. You acknowledge and agree that any credit card and related billing and payment information that you provide to CloudWalk may be shared by CloudWalk with companies who work on CloudWalk's behalf, such as payment processors and/or credit agencies, solely for the purposes of checking credit, effecting payment to CloudWalk and servicing your account. CloudWalk may also provide information in response to valid legal process, such as subpoenas, search warrants and court orders, or to establish or exercise its legal rights or defend against legal claims. CloudWalk shall not be liable for any use or disclosure of such information by such third parties. CloudWalk reserves the right to discontinue the provision of the CloudWalk Services to you for any late payments.

Any outstanding balance becomes immediately due and payable upon termination of the Terms for any reason.

4.4 You may not develop multiple Applications to simulate or act as a single Application or otherwise access the CloudWalk Services in a manner intended to avoid incurring fees.

5. Content on the CloudWalk Services and Take Down Obligations
